“…Conductive polymers, such as polyaniline (PANI) [ 34 ], polypyrrole (PPy) [ 35 , 36 ], and poly(3,4- ethylene dioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) [ 36 ], are viable candidates for integration into antenna designs due to their low price and high flexibility. A drawback of the conductive polymer is its relatively low conductivity, which can be enhanced by adding single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT), multiwall carbon nano tube (MWCNT) [ 37 ], and platinum-decorated carbon nanoparticle embedded polyaniline (Pt_C/PANI: CSA) [ 38 ]. Carbon or metal particle-based conductive ink is a potential material for the wearable antenna.…”

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in the field of wireless communication for designing a monitoring system to observe the activity of the human body remotely. With the use of wireless body area networks (WBAN), chronic health and physical activity may be tracked without interfering with routine lifestyle. This crucial real-time data transmission requires low power, high speed, and broader bandwidth communication. Ultrawideband (UWB) technology has been explored for short-range and high-speed applications to cater to these demands over the last decades. The antenna is a crucial component of the WBAN system, which lowers the overall system’s performance. The human body’s morphology necessitates a flexible antenna. In this article, we comprehensively survey the relevant flexible materials and their qualities utilized to develop the flexible antenna. Further, we retrospectively investigate the design issues and the strategies employed in designing the flexible UWB antenna, such as incorporating the modified ground layer, including the parasitic elements, coplanar waveguide, metamaterial loading, etc. To improve isolation and channel capacity in WBAN applications, the most recent decoupling structures proven in UWB MIMO technology are presented.
